Now that I have the blank....

Hi,
I have purchased what I think is a Horrocks and Ibsen blank. So far, just taken out of the tube. The reel seat is installed, no guides or tip top. Now, where do I go from here? Any suggestions as to where to start are welcome. Books, youtube etc, I'm willing to learn and do this right.
I would be willing to trade other rods, fly boxes, materials etc if that helps.
Thanks very much for any ideas!
Mike
